When should I capitalise the asset and at what values ?
I have done this..... 1 ) Capitalise both the assets on the date it reached the factory... 2 ) Value of the pump for which the price is paid before it reaches the factory is value at cash value...that is the amount paid.. 3 ) Value of the second pump for which the price is still payable is valued using the exchange rate on the date it reached the factory....
